June 14, 2007|Tribune Staff Report

Traffic is now flowing normally along westbound Interstate 94 after the lanes were closed near the state line because of a sinkhole that opened in the highway. According to a spokesman from the Bridgman Post of the Michigan State Police, the freeway was closed near Exit 1 at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday to allow emergency repair crews to fill and patch the sinkhole. Traffic was rerouted off the highway at Exit 1 until the lanes were reopened shortly before midnight.
